After coming in
last place in our first 2 matches, we were hoping to bring some home advantage with
our 3rd match at Kingsmeadow.This time round we had a much better turnout with 36 K&P athletes.Still with the larger team we struggled to
fill some of the events, notably the longer distance runs and many of the U20M Jumps
and throws.That said we had a much
improved day finishing in 3rd place. Notable events of the day were the
AAA Grade 1 performance by Lucy
Tunnacliffe in the Long Jump (5.63m) and the amazing 4x400m U17m relay team
taking 9 seconds off the 30 year old club record with 3:35.1 (2019) – Thomas
White, George Rees, Olly Wilson and Jack Dickson (Previous was 3:44.1 in 1989).
There were a few other PBs on the day,
please look at the full results on the Power
of 10 (link provided below). The final match is at Brighton’s Withdean on 28th
July. It’s a great track protected from headwinds and can provide good
conditions for PBs!! We want a big push to get another big team out, fill even
more events in track and field, and go for a higher finish.If you are available but need a lift, please
let us know and we will sort something out.

Please take a
